SYNOPSIS: Aliens from a dying world come to Earth in their flying saucer to kidnap women to repopulate their race. You know, like you do. The "Space Monster" is a mutant creature they brought along, but keep locked up in a cell. There is no "Frankenstein." Just a damaged android developed by Drs. Adam Steel and Karen Grant, designed to take the risks astronauts otherwise would, and who fell to Earth when his rocket crashed. The ineffectual aliens are eventually defeated and the damsels rescued.

Smithee Award Nominations

Most Ludicrous Premise
Whatever-the-Hell Planet Needs Women The aliens are from an unnamed planet they wrecked with nuclear war. Now they need our women. Of course!	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Stupidest-Looking Monster
Meet the Space Monster The space monster is really a stupid rubber suit. And who's inside? Crispin Glover's dad! That makes it EXTRA creepy!	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Crummiest Ending
Ship Blows Up, They All Die Our heroine faceplants, but gets rescued. The aliens try to get away using stock footage. But "Frankenstein" commandeers a ray gun and blows up everyone and everything, aliens, spacemonster, himself...cut to: THE END.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Acting
Dr. Nadir, Vampire Midget Guy Lou Cutell's over-the-top performance is made even better by the voice-over-stock-footage middle.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
